The numbers quoted are not showing what we discuss here. From the year before WC 2011, the H2H is LCW 2 LD 1. There was momentum for LCW.
After WC, there was two tournaments played without spirit (I was there for the final at HK open, it was played without any kind of intensity.) In All Eng 2012, LCW retired injured.
Then there was the OLY 2012 and WC 2013. LD won both of them, there is no denying, but that does not invalidates what MF said.
As for the two players technical skill, I don't believe LD's net play is better. But I believe is deception is better. LD's anticipation is for me tactical. He is a more clever player, and mentally much stronger. But still, I believe what MF said in WC 11 is correct.
